Eternity

I heard of eternity

A long time ago

But how long it lasts 

I still don’t know

Maybe it’s the instructor, 

Maybe it’s me

But my Friday night class 

Seems like eternity

And days last forever 

When I don’t see you

And nights…

Well they go on forever too

Your vacation might as well 

Have been a millennium

Because my daily routine 

Went way beyond tedium

But when I’m with you 

Time really flies

And the way I feel 

You can see in my eyes

And my desire to be with you 

Can only increase

And my love for you 

Will never know surcease

So if we don’t spend 

Eternity together

All of eternity will be 

Like a day of bad weather.
